I had our seasonal brief visit from our local Jehovah Witnesses today which led to a pondering of regional differences.
When even the local JW refrain from uninvited conversation it's hard to fathom *having* to explicitly state an disinterest in conversation with a stranger under most circumstances. Doing so would feel rude as it implies that the person in question would continue talking at someone who's not expressed an interest in conversation unless explicitly told not to.
